1 Kings 3:5-8
51In GibeonH1391 the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 2in a dreamH2472 at nightH3915; and GodH430 saidH559, “3AskH7592 whatH4100 you wish Me to giveH5414 you.”
6Then SolomonH8010 saidH559, “4You have shownH6213 greatH1419 faithfulnessH2617 to Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1, 5accordingH3512 asH3512 he walkedH1980 beforeH6440 You in 6truthH571, righteousnessH6666, and uprightnessH3483 of heartH3824 towardH5973 You; and 7You have 8reservedH8104 for him thisH2088 greatH1419 faithfulnessH2617, that You have givenH5414 him a sonH1121 to sitH3427 on his throneH3678, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117.
7And nowH6258, LordH3068 my GodH430, 9You have madeH4427 Your servantH5650 kingH4427 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 my fatherH1 DavidH1732, yet 10I am like a littleH6996 boyH5288; 11I do not knowH3045 how to 12goH3318 outH3318 or comeH935 inH935.
8And 13Your servantH5650 is in the midstH8432 of Your peopleH5971 whomH834 You have chosenH977, 14a greatH7227 peopleH5971 whoH834 are tooH4480 manyH7230 to be numberedH4487 or countedH5608.
